Why do some communities have @[INSTANCE NAME] and some are just their names? (lemmy.world)

There was also a bug where some communities would have @instancename even on their home instance, like lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world. It would continue to work on the home instance but break federation with other instances. I don't know if it's still happening on the latest update.
